Nothing like a soul-refreshing hike surrounded by nature’, followed by homemade bagels fresh out of the oven—and to top it off, a killer margarita to end the day just right. Grateful for the simple joys.

🌈 A rainbow cake isn’t just a treat for the taste buds—it’s a reminder of how beautiful the world can be when differences come together. Each color stands out, but together, there is magic—just like us. The sweetness of working together!

do you enjoy knowing that when you deposit money in a US bank, you won't lose that money? nice, right?

it's because bank deposits are insured by FDIC.

i don't know what FDIC ever did to these people, but apparently it too is now on their blow-it-up list:

Yesterday, Trump signed more executive orders on Inauguration Day than any President in history.

Every day this week, I'll be breaking down Trump's attacks on your rights and freedoms.

Made homemade Chiles Rellenos with rice and beans today—nothing brings back memories of my mom quite like this meal. Watching her cook taught me so much. Learned from the best. Gracias, mamá!

You can’t politely disagree with someone’s right to exist and expect things to be ‘okay.’ Denying someone’s humanity isn’t a difference of opinion—it’s a rejection of their very being. Equality and respect are non-negotiable.

Privilege is like Wi-Fi—if you have it, you might not even notice it’s there, but others are stuck searching for a connection. Take a moment to check your signal, amplify others, and share the password.
